I recently purchased two Polk subs and need some help picking the right amp. The subs are MM1040 SVC. I plan on wiring them parallel up to a mono amp, but not sure which one. should I go with the 600.1 or the 400.1? it seems that the 400.1 would be underpowered and the 600.1 overpowered....correct me if im wong. Thanks

    Theyre rated at 300 watts RMS each so youll want to get a mono amp that makes 600 watts RMS at 2 ohms mono.

    and amps in that bracket are easy to source.
